About

 

Jamie-Lee Girodat holds a BFA from the University of Lethbridge and an MFA in Printmaking from the University of Alberta. Her practice spans print media, drawing, and animation, shaped by an ongoing interest in genetics, mental health, and blobby things.

Her work has been exhibited across Canada and internationally in Finland, Poland, Armenia, the United States, Puerto Rico, and Japan. She is the recipient of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship, as well as a two-time recipient of the Alberta Arts Graduate Scholarship.

Girodat has taught at the University of Alberta, the Mount Allison University Pierre Lassonde School of Fine Arts, Alberta University of the Arts, and the University of Calgary. Outside of teaching, she develops programming for Alberta Printmakers and AUArts' Summer Residency.

She is currently developing a new body of work for upcoming exhibitions and producing an eight-episode demonstration series funded by the Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
